Summative Committee Tasks

In our first work we developed the following criteria.

1. Describe the faculty role, rationale, and motivation for course and program assessment.
2. Inform faculty concerning guidelines for good assessment.
3. Address faculty needs and constraints regarding time and workload.
4. Train faculty to implement, document, and communicate assessment results in a manner that closes the loop.
5. Encourage dialogue with other faculty about assessment and learning outcomes to create cooperation, creativity, and coherency campus-wide.
6. Model good teaching and assessment techniques.
7. Enhance the learning paradigm on a campus.

The next step is to use these criteria to evaluate the training plan I have developed. Links to the plan, references, and training materials can be found below. The column titled "response format" describes your role with links to a feedback form. If you need to print something off rather than read it online please use the links marked * to print a word document rather than pages of html.
